as you all know we all had to put in our own custom settings and iptables into our android phones to get cricket working on our phones allowing us to access the marcket, internet, and apps.
it involves using autostart, u2nl, and replacing the APN's.
now all of that is to route all traffic trough the cricket proxy which only allows access to the internet trough port 8080.
but NOW as you all may know cricket offers an android phone plan which gives you unlocked 3G speed (yes my speed went up a little bit once i got the plan, to about 70KB/s) but i think it's not fully unlocked because i have all these things being routed trough their old proxy servers...
so does anyone know the new settings to configure your android phone with the cricket android plan?
supposedly on the plan description it says everything works, apps, market, everything!

Just purchase the 5.99 plan. Then edit ur existing connection and select this network connects thru proxy server and put this in the proxy box. getmorespeed.voicestream.com or getmorespeed.voicestream.net. and you will then be able to access full internet
alright thanks, now all i have to do is buy the plan.
Currently, Tmobile has unlocked their network, so you won't need to use a proxy to get online. You will have full access through the $5.99/month plan.
I've had the T-Mobile 5.99 web package for 2 years now and I've always been able to access any web page I want. It's definitely not the speediest though.
It seems that Tmobile has locked their network again. It's back to proxy 216.1551.65.50:8080 people.

Does this mean that by using this proxy, all ports are open for the web? Or only specific are allowed?

Does this work for t-mobile to go prepaid or only for contracts? i tried putting in the setting's for it and it does'nt work. and which one exactly do you have to input in the proxy server? 216.1551.65.50 or getmorespeed.voicestream.com??

This should work for both if you are paying for the T-Zones. I used to be on T-Zones and T-Mobile used to lock and unlock the ports (HTTP,FTP,POP,SMTP,etc.) from time to time. But now they have unlocked the ports. So the best way to get a cheap plan with all ports unblocked is to get the Blackberry Data Plan that costs $20. It does not have the HotSpots stuff, only GPRS access. And if you have an EDGE device or even better a 3G device, you will have great speeds on your mobile phone. But if you want both GPRS and HotSpot, then go with the $30 Data Plan.
As for the proxy, you will enter 216.155.65.50 (you got an extra 1 in 155). The getmorespeed.voicestream.com is for the APN that you input when creating the connection.

hi, ive had the 5.99 plan for awhile, it works good with 216 proxy number, but the speed isnt fast, my apn name is wap.voicestream.com, and I tried getmorespeed.voicestream.com for AOn, but it did not work, can u please explain how do you have your settings configured
Use wap.voicestream.com instead. As far as I know, getmorespeed.voicestream.com no longer works. Atleast it doesn't work fo me either.
I am using internet2.voicestream.com since I have the $20 plan. I don't need a proxy for this data plan.
- TKN
it's wap.voicestream.com for the 5.99/plan, internet2.voicestream.com for the 19.99 plan. You only need the 19.99 plan if you plan on using your phone as a modem...
I cannot wait to try this $20 plan with a 3G enabled phone and see what speeds I will get ...

im trying to get my laptop to connect to AT&T 3g via [email protected] instead of default APN.
Im currently running OSX 10.5.7 and have tried a variety if scripts but nothing seems to be working.
Any ideas?
as I understand it cingular is not the same company as att?
if so then
APN is the identirier for the phone company which one of their services you wish
to take advange of it's not a site or anything
a phone company can even have several APN's depending on what
contract one use
and type anything other in the APN then what the phone company expect you to
for the contract you got
and you will get no service at all
if not then
sorry I dont really know that much about american phone companys
yah thats the problem im running into. I would like to use WAP.Cingular instead of the default ISP.CINGULAR because of the amount of savings on my monthly bill.
Thanks for the input tho.
I have been using my new mytouch without a data plan for about a week now. I had data when I activated the phone (didn't sign up for it, but was able to connect), but they have since blocked it. Everything works fine without a data plan except for one thing - MMS. MMS is not working for me now, and I suspect its because I don't have a data plan. I tried changing around APN settings, but haven't managed to find a combination that works. Anyone have any ideas on work around?
So that is weird because technically, without data, you should only get mms / sms and phone.
mms uses the data connection
MMS messages need the data connection to work. SMS messages should work without a data connection since they are transmitted over the signaling portion of the cell channel.
Without the data plan MMS will not work.
Why then did MMS work on my T-Mobile Dash without a data plan?
Dash was a different phone
Windows Mobile on the dash handled data differently than the android software, plus the network systems have been changed to recognize data phones and require the correct data plans.
The Dash was not supposed to get MMS without a data plan but it worked as long as you could connect to T-zones.
Wi-fi works but to get the most of this phone the $24.99 plan is required.
yea i had the same thing the data worked over 3g for about a day. u can buy the phone form walmart and u will not have to to get the 24.99 data plan i just told them i have it on another line.
So...you can have a PDA/Smartphone, and not get hit with the additional cost of a data plan. Is this where you'd need a "unlocked" phone?

to view MMS without a data plan? No cuz an unlocked phone only allows you to use the phone with other carriers.
is there anyway to activate it without dataplan simcard....? with wifi same like g1
I think that myTouch "need" simcard with data plan to activate it. only wifi is impossible to activate.
However, I've another question. Is it possible to use this phone when I have no Internet conneciton (wifi/2G/3G)? I just need to use if for making a call.
yes. if your mytouch 3g is alrady activated (needs sim cardwith data plan for that), you can SMS and make phonecalls and check voicemail (visual voicemail does need data tho) without any data connection, just like normal cellphones.
OK folks. For those of you that missed it. The My Touch has to be activated using a sim card with a data plan attached. Once that is done, you don't need data. MMS on the MyTouch runs through the data portion of the network. Yot car root the phone, load up a different recovery image like Cyanogen or Amon ra's, and no more need to activate that handheld again. As for MMS, no fix for that. You have to have data to send an MMS. Large text, Picture, Or video messages will not work on a text package alone. A "large" text message is about 133 characters or more. Don't realy remember to well these days. The phone was designed around a data connection. Without it, you're gonna have issues.
Is there a List?
Is there a list of phones that MMS won't work or other features are disabled? The G1 used to not need data now T-mobile say's it does? so if I was to get a G1 without data is MMS gone? Curious about the Nokia nuron or nexus 1 is anything disabled without data?
I want to get a nice phone preferably with wifi but no data plan what is my best option a list of phones that work 100% without Data would be very cool...
Need to know my options so I can start trying to get a deal on the phone I select.
Thanks

No not really. the $10 Unlimited web for phone data plan works. Just need to tweak around the apn settings.
I have also seen some forums that included that a 5.99$ Tzone data plan also work with mytouch 3g. However it is difficult to get that plan.
After activating and sim unlocking the phone, If I ever factory data reset, would I have to activate it again with a Tmobile sim card?
Now I am confused.
I have a MyTouch3g from t-mobile. I bought it used so I did not need to get the data plan to activate it, however, picture messages still work just fine for me, as do video. I would like to know why.

Are you getting charged for data usage? AFAIK all MMS has to go over towers so that the carriers network can authenticate the phone they're are coming from, but I could be wrong.

Hey All I did a search on the forums for this but didn't see an answer so wanted to put this question out there.
My work allowed me to upgrade my work phone from the standard BB to a Samsung Vibrant. When I got the phone and put my T-Mobile SIM in, the phone worked but internet would not. I called support and found out that this was because my plan through work was for BB internet not Android. The same SIM chip works fine in a Nexus One that I have. I get internet access and everything.
So I thought that maybe if I get my Vibrant unlocked then I would be able to bypass that BB Internet plan requirement. Through my work we got the unlock code from T-Mobile. The unlocked, rooted Vibrant running CM 7 still won't connect to the internet.
is there anyway I can get internet connectivity on the Vibrant, other than asking T-Mobile to change the plan?
Thank you in Advance.
You can try changing the APN under Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
although, I don't know what APN your plan uses.. you can research and find what APN your plan uses and it SHOULD work if you enter the right one...
But don't take my word for this. I can be wrong!
Btw, in the APN menu, is there anything there already?
Make sure u save the apn when done. Dont just exit out

I just bought a 750mb data plan ($25/mo) to use with my Pantech Element. Inserted the sim, did the set up, voila! got a Simple Mobile connection showing in my taskbar. It was only an Edge signal but what the heck the Element was not designed to be compatible with the 1700mz Simple Mobile network. Only problem was that there was no internet connection. Called Simply Mobile support, they verified with me the setup was done properly, put me on hold for a few minutes, and told me that they were sorry, but since the Element was not supported they didn't guarantee anything. Since they don't give refunds, I'm thinking I'm out $25. Starting searching for information on wireless APN settings and by tweaking the APN installed during the sim activation was finally able to connect. The bad news is the speed is around 56 kbps; remember the old dial-up modem? Still I'm not convinced that there is not that perfect APN configuration out there that will give me some acceptable speed. I live in Louisville, Ky and know nothing about Simple Mobile data speed around here. I welcome any help with APN settings for Simple Mobile.
